Slow Motion

Intro

Slow motion... in your ocean.

Yeah, me come to tell you 'bout the love motion, see?

Skizzy-up the dancehall, listen to me now!

Temperature rising, water capsizing, watch out!

Chorus

Slow motion in your ocean, baby, that is how we cruise,

When the tide is rolling heavy, we got no time left to lose.

Slow motion in your ocean, daily, wash away the blues,

People dem a-chatter, but we making our own moves.

Verse 1

Me say look at how she walk, look at how she look at me,

A-steppin' on the beach, she lookin' sweeter than a fantasy.

Me take her by the hand, me say, "Come follow the man,"

We jump inside the water, now we swimming in the sand.

But the people dem a-watch, dem a-look with telescope,

Dem want to find a reason just to try and cut the rope.

Me say no, sir, mister, me doin' nothing wrong,

Just a-chillin' with my lady while we singin' out this song!

She give me motivation, dedication, sweet vibration,

Now we movin' down the lane to find a brand new location,

Hear me now!

Chorus

Slow motion in your ocean, baby, that is how we cruise,

When the tide is rolling heavy, we got no time left to lose.

Slow motion in your ocean, daily, wash away the blues,

People dem a-chatter, but we making our own moves.

Verse 2

A-wicked-boom-boom down, that is what the people say,

When they see the way we dancing in the middle of the day.

She rock it to the left, and then she shift it to the right,

We keeping up the rhythm till the middle of the night.

The waves dem a-crash, but we never gonna sink,

We deeper than the water, higher than the thoughts you think.

Dem a-try to make a case, try to lock me in a cell,

But the secret of the ocean is a thing me never tell!

Me look into your eyes, see the reflection of the sun,

Me tell you, pretty girl, you are the only, only one,

Watch out!

Chorus

Slow motion in your ocean, baby, that is how we cruise,

When the tide is rolling heavy, we got no time left to lose.

Slow motion in your ocean, daily, wash away the blues,

People dem a-chatter, but we making our own moves.

Verse 3

Now the shoreline fading and the bassline drop down deep,

Got the rhythm in your bones that never let a body sleep.

We a-sail across the harbor where the moonlight start to gleam,

Floating on a feeling like a raggamuffin dream.

They can try to build a wall, they can try to close the gate,

But the motion of the ocean means the lovers cannot wait.

Hear the percussion a-bangin', the guitar a-skankin' light,

Holdin' on tight till the morning bring the light.

No hesitation, generation, deep synchronization,

Riding on the wave to a perfect destination,

Listen to me!

Bridge

Everybody, you know say me smash it up,

We drinkin' from the fountain and we fillin' up the cup.

So let the water flow, let the heavy river run,

We doing this together underneath the golden sun.

Chorus

Slow motion in your ocean, baby, that is how we cruise,

When the tide is rolling heavy, we got no time left to lose.

Slow motion in your ocean, daily, wash away the blues,

People dem a-chatter, but we making our own moves.

Outro

Yeah, slow motion.

Raggamuffin stylee.

In your ocean, see?

Me come to rock it, never gonna stop it.

A-wicked-boom-boom down.

Ride the wave now.

Keep it moving slow.

Deep water flow.

Yeah, man.

Peace.
